Carbon is an experimental successor programming language to C++, announced by Google in 2022 and intended for large, performance-critical software with an existing C++ codebase that wants gradual, bidirectional interoperability during migration. Carbon aims to provide modern language features, memory-safety improvements, and a faster iteration and build experience than C++ while retaining straightforward interoperation with existing C++ code and toolchains.
